How to sort mail in some Webmail services

Gmail - how to use filters and labels to sort list mail in Gmail's Webmail interface (if you use the free POP interface to download your Gmail to an email client, use the email client to sort the mail instead)

Whichever email program you are using on your computer, just set its mail filters/rules to find TEFLChina@, TEFLChinaJob@, TEFLChinaLife@ or whatever listname@ in the "To:" line and automatically transfer the message to separate TEFLChina, TEFLChinaLife, and TEFLChinaJob folders. Easy peasy lemon squeezy -- keeps your In-Box clean.

No Mail?

If you unexpectedly stop receiving messages from a TEFLChina list for several days in a row, delivery of posts to your address may have been temporarily turned off by Yahoogroups due to messages bouncing off your address. You can turn your subscription back on -- unbounce yourself -- at Yahoogroups.com, or let me know at karen.stanley at cpcc dot edu and I will unbounce you.
